From the Lincroft Academy
We have every right to be extremely proud of Lincroft Academy because it has a stellar reputation that is well-deserved.
We reach high standards and give the students great pastoral care and teaching.
Our kind, compassionate, and extremely diligent staff members are dedicated to giving the pupils the finest possible education.
The intellectual, physical, social, and emotional development of boys and girls between the ages of 11 and 16 will be very noticeable.
As we encourage their independence and unique abilities, they will improve their self-esteem and confidence.
Learning will become more individualised for each student as they progress through Lincroft as they discover their skills and pursue their interests.
Most students will start to specialise in the Academy's superb curriculum, which is unique in that it includes three modern languages. They will also take advantage of the many opportunities offered in the musical and visual arts, as well as in sport and physical education.
The majority of our Year 8 students stayed at Lincroft and joined our first Year 9 year group in September 2017, accepting the chances and responsibilities of being young adults as they take their GCSEs in 2020. As a result, Lincroft transitioned from a middle school to a secondary academy.
After GCSEs, our students will also have access to the same options as Sharnbrook Academy and will be able to apply for the Sixth Form programme at Sharnbrook that is still offered.
Together, we can give the kids a top-notch education that will prepare them for the challenges of modern life.
